--- Comment #12 from Mike Kaganski <mikekagan...@hotmail.com> ---
Additional points to those who will have to consider this on the next UX call:

1. Master documents is an advanced feature, not *designed* as something to be
used without a bit of learning. A proposal designed to enable use like "I
suddenly decided to use this feature with a set of documents not designed with
master documents in mind" is not a proper scenario here. If someone makes a
mistake while using the feature the first time (without reading the guides),
it's simply part of learning curve, not a justification to break this feature
by breaking its founding principle.
2. Creating even more complex "solution", like "let me decide what to keep, and
what to override" is also not a useful option. In cases of inheriting, this
would create a mess, with uncertainty, from where to inherit - from original
document's style, or from master override; impossible complexity to understand
it from user's PoV.
